Some Questions from a Chevy Guy

Hey all...

Got this guy w/ a 95 300zx i know....had the NA motor in it....claimed that w/ a CAI, underdrive pully, and cat-back he ran 13.9. Always had an excuse on race night to not race me (such as he just washed it, LoL). Recently did a TT swap....Now claims 400whp and a sub 13 quarter mile....Any truth to this? what do these 2 setups really run? I assume that the TT motor has about the same mods as the NA, w/o talking to him too much for sake of annoyingness... I'm reading about 300HP and a 14.0 for the TT....that about right?

Thanks for any input u all have from the Z world!

if his car has a tt swap he has u beat

ok, can u elaborate w/ a little fact to back that up? I'm reading 13.9-14.0 1/4 times..."he has u beat" sounds like a little more ricer banter....boasting w/o fact to back it up.

highly doubtful he ran a flat 14 with a mostly unmodified n/a.. however if he swapped to a tt it would be very easy for him to be putting down 400hp... so, if in fact he did the tt swap, added a full exhaust, intake and a reprogrammed computer with boost jets he will stick it to you with ease provided he's a decent driver.

the stock tt will run a 13.9 with a good driver.

Especially if he went with aftermarket turbo's, witch can be a bigger turbo and with the right exhaust and program . 14 sec .. np

LOL @ "cold air intake".

The stock intake setup draws air from infront of the radiator under that center nose panel, thus stock form on a Z32 utilizes a CAI setup.

I really doubt he did a 13.9 with an very lightly modified NA. As we see here:

http://z32racing.com/

Left side, go down to "All Motor NA".

non-turbo 300ZXs that are running that bracket have some fairly extensive modifications.

If his TT motor is anywhere near stock tell him you want to see his dyno for "400WHP". A lightly modded TT motor making 400hp at the crank? Sure, done all the time. Stock turbos even with a butt load of mods pushing 400RWHP? Possible but I really doubt his does.

Sounds like the guy is a jerkoff. Kick him really hard in the balls and hopefully you'll render him sterile and unable to reproduce.

that's what I was thinking....though other ppl seem to be jumping to conclusions....a 14 flat ISN'T gonna beat me. It is a mostly Stock TT, and I am afraid, that is he ever does get the nuts to race me, which I doubt, he's gonna get embarassed. Esp as someone that I doubt has ever drag raced w/ any level of experience.

The only way to really find out is to race him right? I mean, don't race for money, just for fun, and if he beats you, just pull a few of his spark plug wires while he's distracted... this guy sounds like a tool, and I hate people like that giving z's a bad name. Yes, long story short (as everyone has already said) 400 BHP is pretty easily attainable for a TT with stock turbos/fuel system. Just see if he'll race you, and if not, no big deal man, he's not worth your gas.

dude, it all depends on what he has done. i lightly modified TT can see 12's pretty easy.

also keep in mind if he did a TT swap, which means he has the stock 4.10 N/A rear end gear. which in other Z32 owners experience can drop a half second and more off the 1/4 mile time. which would mean that a completely stock TT motor in his car should easily be running mid 13's. if he can drive well, he could easily be running high 12's lightly modified. dont be surprised if he blows the doors off of anything running 14 seconds.

as for the N/A running sub 14's. possible but highly doubtful. it would have to be slicktop, perfectly driven, and a factory freak.

k3 is a genius

hardly :D

k3 is a genius

i try...:)
hardly :D

eh...you are just another jealous Z31 owner in my eyes! let's see that 88 do 12's very lightly modified. Z32 ENVY! I call it as I see it. :D

you can't even talk about z's anymore... not until you get yours back on the road

and i am most definitely not jealous of you... in any way

and i am most definitely not jealous of you... in any way

atleast i can walk 30 feet and go look at my Z, poser!

never said you were jealous of me, you have never met me. you're are jealous that you don't know a Z32. :)

i thought it was still at z1?

at least i know my z will be running when i go home to it lol

and i'm not jealous of z32's either.

wtf would my car be doing in Georgia? my car is in my garage awaiting UltimateZ to stop being jerk offs.

and when i go look at my Z, i know it will look better than the purple turd! :lol:

sounds to me like you need a Z32 to prove your manly hood!

right... ultimatez.. whatever lol

it's not purple... it's deep red metallic... and fuck you for speaking ill of it

sounds like i don't need to prove anything to you

it's not purple... it's deep red metallic... and fuck you for speaking ill of ituh huh...but to everyone else, its purple and will always be purple. thats like saying my turds are not shit brown, they are mocha chocolate. sounds pretty but lets be honest with one's self.

sounds like i don't need to prove anything to you
you may not need to....but i bet im not the only one wondering about you.

who else wants some?

who else wants some?

you're a dork! go rent a porno or something!

eh...you are just another jealous Z31 owner in my eyes! let's see that 88 do 12's very lightly modified. Z32 ENVY! I call it as I see it. :D

Well how much does a Z32 cost to buy compared to a Z31? I would expect a much more expensive car to get into 12's much easier. Thats the point of buying the more expensive car. That was one of your less thought out arguments I have heard.

sounds to me like you need a Z32 to prove your manly hood!

A Z32 makes you look manly?!?!?! ROFL!!! :rofl: You must have a very... interesting opinion on what is manly...:gay:

it's not purple... it's deep red metallic... and fuck you for speaking ill of it

Yes deep metallic red might be the code but I wouldnt class it as a red car. :p However:

uh huh...but to everyone else, its purple and will always be purple. thats like saying my turds are not shit brown, they are mocha chocolate. sounds pretty but lets be honest with one's self.

Unlike the rest of you I have actually seen his car in person and it isnt purple. It is pretty much Maroon, which is a derivitive of Red. Purple is ~50% blue + 50% red. Maroon is more like ~80% Red +20% blue.

yag...as one may have guessed. my whole argument has no basis and i was simply arguing for the sake of argument. dz gets his panties in a bunch and i sit behind my computer screen and have a good chuckle. obviously, my sarcasm and lack of basis for argument was not easily caught.

so...you admit...maroon is very close to purple varying only 30% by your approximations. i rest my case. its as close to purple as you can get without buying purple. i have seen that color in person too, it may had not have been dz's but i have seen a car of the same color and i said to myself "wow...what kind of she-man would purchase a purple car?" :lol:

one who's comfortable with his sexuality, and doesn't care what others think

some moderator you are

one who's comfortable with his sexuality, and doesn't care what others think

some moderator you are

im comfortable with my sexuality...that doesnt i mean i go out and purchase a purple car. has nothing to do with sexuality...it has everything to do with a purple car.

my moderatorship has no bearing on this argument. this is an argument which is between me and the guy with a purple car.

whatever, i'm not going to play your game anymore

whatever, i'm not going to play your game anymore

Point, Set, Match! :lol:

you won nothing... i just don't like arguing with stupid people, it makes me feel stupid

you won nothing... i just don't like arguing with stupid people, it makes me feel stupid

:lol: see, im the opposite. i like arguing with stupid people because it makes me feel smarter than thee.

So you like arguing with yourself then... interesting...:screwy:

No. Purple is ~50% blue + 50% red. Maroon is more like ~80% Red +20% blue.

i you add up the percentage points that are different, eg 80%-50% and 50%-20% that is a 60% difference between purple and maroon. Ie, it is only 40% different to red. Hence being closer to Red than purple. But dont worry you live in the US, that alone explains your lack of maths education... and your ignorance :P

point of the matter is that purple and your so called maroon both contain the same 2 different colors which in relation, maroon could simply be called a a different SHADE of purple. beings purple is the more prominent and popular color it probably would not be correct to say purple is a shade of maroon.

so my point still stands and your math expertise plays no relevance. :P

...yeah, good one there Anthony.

No it wouldnt be correct :nono: That made no sense what so ever... So your saying that just because 2 different colours shar similar colours they should be classed as a shade of another?? That is like saying Pink is a shade of purple because they share the same colours when clearly they are not the same, nor would be classed as similar.

Dude, you have lost give up :disappoin

holy shat! good-bye yag...good bye!

Bye!!:wave:

i love you yag but you have alot to learn my friend. maroon is a form of purple as is pink. hence purple being a secondary color and maroon and pink being a branch off of purple. all this relates in travis's car being as purple as richard simmon's spandex! :D

Bah-bow...

Although conceptually a color mixture, it can be regarded as a dark (and possibly also desaturated) shade of red. Derived from French marron ("chestnut"), it didn't become a color-word in English until ca. 1791.

FTW!

Thankyou, thankyou... I'd like to thank my fans... My family and friends...

and yet, it is just as much of a shade of purple as it is red.

and yet, it is just as much of a shade of purple as it is red.

Actually, It is a combination of BROWN and red. It is classed both as a shade of brown and also as a shade of red. No mention of purple in it :D

i figured id get this thread back on track. even tho the guy prolly wont read ths,but a tt swaped 300zx "z32" will prolly beat him, and yes purple is a good color, no girl would argue that! :)

and yes purple is a good color, no girl would argue that! :)

my point exactly...

purple is a good colour for girls, and it's a good thing my z isn't purple..

purple is a good colour for girls
this is true...

and it's a good thing my z isn't purple..
this is not so true...








:rofl:

.... fine then, i'm not arguing anymore, be as ignorant as you wish..

oh...

Wow. This thread really went places. Makes me want to go sit in my 16.slow red 2+2 Z31 and relish in the thought that I have never seen a purple z, just red, maroon, white, gold, black, etc.

Thanks for the chuckles!

And for those that want to take argument with a 16.slow time in a 2+2, I'm referring to 0-60 times, not 1/4 mile times.

old wessy did a photoshop of my car that changed the paint to purple.. was in the off topic forum tho so good luck finding it...think it's between page 200 and 400
